Ive been rooted for the past 3 days with zero issues and no bloatware installed. Everything was great until today. I left for work and then I got zero data. Checked in my settings and it didnt even have my number in there or anything, just showed zero about a network or anything. Took it back to t-mobile today and they tried to hard reboot it and now I cant even get to the main screen. Tried a stock rom to recover it to factory and nothing. When I turn it on it just shows samsung now. Is there a way to go back to stock with odin or anything I can do?
Also when I boot into recovery its no longer cwm, and when I uploaded another stock rom onto it, I cant even see the sd card now.
Odin a stock rom. Your just soft bricked if you still have some activity.

Heres a tar. Of the 2.3.6 update with wifi calling also beforehand flash stock recovery via odin if u dont have it already....then flash this tar. Good luck

Edit....it is totally stock so you will be good then for root just use melvins root process it works u might have to flash root 2 or 3 times while in recovery . But it works
Is there a link to the stock recovery? All im seeing is cwm.
Let me know....hold on.....here

I will also get u the root file and cwm its in same thread u will do that after u flash rom tho. Right now just get to stock recovery then rom

Heres the root and cwm (recovery) thread like i said do this after your rom is odined on device. Flash cwm then go into cwm make backup let it finish then attempt root. (i said backup cuz u always should do this) also when looking for a file in odin hit pda then search for your tar. U downloaded select it and start odin!

Ok I finally got back to stock setup but I still have zero data and when I go into the status menu its unknown network, no signal, no mobile, and it says out of service. I did get a new sim card from t-mobile earlier today but both do the same thing. Phone defect or a problem caused by rooting?

That is the root I had on my phone all week before my phone became "out of service state". All I did was delete bloatware I would never use or want and it worked fine for 3 days, zero issues.
Nah cant be.....thats weird idk dude sorry i tried i got one more suggestion go to rootzwiki.com go to there forums and go to our gs2 variant and hit up development section whitehawkx has the flashable modem as a zip so u can flash it in cwm. Try that. Because it sounds baseband related (modem)

I just removed the t-mobile mall,tv and other crap like that. The email app, basic apps like that, and the free games. I had everything backed up as well so I know it wasn't anything I deleted.
100% stock phone now, reflashed the modem seperate, 2 sim cards and still have an out of service phone. Has to be a hardware issue. I can use wifi and get online and app market with no problem but nothing from t-mobile.
So I was wondering if any of you have heard of a phone not urning on at all. Like no download mode, no recovery, NOTHING!!! Mine just did it out of nowhere...

Yes, that happened to me on monday when my phone first arrived. I ended up getting a new phone from the t-mobile store by me. Plugging in the usb cable to charge the battery didnt even work. The ONLY thing I think that causes this is having re-partition and F. Reset time checked off in odin. On my replacement phone I was very careful to double check everything checked off and not checked along with software chosen and it then worked like a charm. If your phone blacked out you need to get it replaced, I havent read of anyway to fix that problem.
Hi. I am encountering problems after installing this CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.4
I admit, I am a noob regarding this.
Going back, the phone can access The CWM-based recovery by pressing the power button and volume up, can use menus, advanced menu,
I wiped the partition and cleared cache and dalvik cache but when you restart, screen stops at LG logo and (Secure booting error, Cause: boot certification verify) text is displayed.
I know I was unsure of everything and flashing androids are new to me especially on my device.
can I unlock the bootloader even with the CWM-based recovery alone?
Model name: F240S
android version. 4.4.2
I'm having a similar problem. I have CWM from Freegee on my phone.
Last night, when I was unable to flash either or two different roms, I decided to check for an OTA update. The phone downloaded it, and when it was finished, it went into looping into recovery. I then decided to factory reset, wipe data.. still phone goes back to recovery. Then I decided to just use the backup I had made earlier in CWM. Still stuck in recovery loop.
Anyone? Anyone?

You can't install an OTA update with a custom recovery. It needs the stock recovery. Time to familiarize yourself with the TOT method of flashing back to stock

I just did some more searching. I'm coming up with stuff like "install the lg flash tool" , "and if that doesn't work, install (If you cannot run LGFlashTool2014.exe, please install Visual C++ Runtime Library) - VC_RedistInstaller.exe - 47.7 Mb"
HOLY PHUCKING HELL! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? Go get a phucking degree from MIT to just to use my phucking fone???
Seriously. Someone on this site needs to learn how to teach. I know that there are men here with IQs in the upper range of 140 plus.. but they can't teach. sad sad sad.
I've been going at this for so long now. My computer is littered with downloaded files. And then the phone I had before this it was like, hmmm, I'll flash a cyanogenmod rom because they under stand the common man. WRONG. Their mods suck battery life more than stock roms. Okay, I'll flash Carbon rom... not any better, devs have purposely darkened the screen to make it look like battery life is better.. I tried rom after rom after rom. They all have problems. NOt just minor problems either.
Android is the punk in prison that gets passed about by the violent inmates. First Samsung has his way with Android, then Google gets in on the gangbang and then Verizon or AT&T gets sloppy thirds..
I have an e980 and this method had been flawless multiple times. As far as battery life, that all depends on 100 different things, but I always flash madmack's modem, then wipe cache and dalvik. Deep sleep is pretty much guaranteed after that.

I searched for a day or two from the forums and they said that there are no unlocked bootloader for 4.4.2 OTA yet.
so sad.
What i did was I used the LG mobile support tool and my phone went back to stock.
my device is also unsupported on Freegee and on CWM, my device isn't available.

Your dramatized posts between threads show you are having a hard time. A person does not need a degree to flash, just the patience to read a lot on a forum like xda regarding their phone and android in general.
People only notice something like battery life on a given rom due to the presence of other options they can compare it to. Apple, for example, is just one thing. One ios iteration having a better something over the other is irrelevant as there is nothing to apply degrees of comparison to. Then, hardware variety, etc.
Some of the points you are upset about in the process of flashing could be resolved by a google search or xda forum search.

Well I finally got it working.
What one has to do to get roms flashed is to use madmacks's term. And when you're on recovery mode, you must toggle Loki support to disabled or the install of the new Rom will abort.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

For the record, I did search. And search. And search.
The problem here at xda is that many of the developers are so smart that they are unable to articulate down to us regular people.

Should I move this question to another post?
I have another problem. my phone just got no signal and says "Service disabled". on the notification bar it just loads and says "Searching for networks". it never found any networks. I switched the same SIM to another phone and it has a signal. the problem happened after I edited the build.prop and changed the ro.build.local from "KR" to "US" just to remove the dual clock from the lockscreen (because F240 has a dual clock which is non-removable except if you use the sqlite editor but that method did not work for me. the editor closes and says "*programname* has closed unexpectedly").
I made a factory reset and still there is no signal. I'm using stock kitkat firmware from LG and not rooted. can you help me with this one?
Thanks
Have you checked your apn settings?
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
No, I don't have APNs listed.
but, I was able to install sphinx rom and now the phone always says "unfortunately, com.android.keyguard has stopped" and the phone app was gone, APN settings also gone, call logs gone,
For a short while, I didn't think I had apn's listed but I was not looking in the right place.

Probably no baseband or null baseband, my suggestion, flash stock through flashtool, if you have free gees made an efs folder you can always restore that too, but i think flashing stock would solve the baseband problem, if that doesnt, there is an online flashing method, that can help

I don't know about the flash stock through flashtool. I use mobile support tool which I did last night and it was a success. "com.android.phone has closed unexpectedly" or something like that does not appear now on SETTINGS>Tethering & Networks>Mobile Networks OR T Roaming>Select roaming network. because before I'm encountering if I go there.
one last thing is that everything is now stock but still I don't get the signal. unlike before. the signal goes back automatically.
about basebands, I do have a baseband. same as before and I still have my IMEI intact.
That is strange, there is a thread of hyelton, in general section, get the lg flash tool from there, and try to flash the appropriate tot file, if you flash the tot or kdz file for other model, this might result in loss of network
Ok let me be really specific i have flashed stock firmware through odin, i have done clean wipes, i have done every possible thing in my power but still experience horrible tablet preformance i get app stops and restarts everytime even after i have flashed on odin no one here has been able to help me they tell me to do the same thing over and over download stock firmware and flash, do a clean wipe iv'e done it all please help i know someone can i think its a file in the screenshots i enclosed that is corrupted but i have no idea which one is it. its not the system or the kernel it is something deeper please help i am begging you developers
k,
no offense, but your post is wildly disrespectful. [frowny face]
you are basically putting the proper ownership of your error off on others.
to be fair, in your ignorance you flashed a firmware without first doing some research on the topic.
a noobish mistake, it happens, i've done it.
there were plenty of threads created prior to your experience warning of new samsung releases
overwriting bootloaders and how to navigate the issue.
from my interaction with you, i think i am accurate in saying you did not do the aforementioned research.
i for one took time to describe a way to "fix" your issue. You chose not to attempt it, which is fair. It is risky.
Cool.
However, lots of the users you've interacted with on xda have a fair to expert handle on how to get things done.
they do what they can to help, they cannot be expected to compensate for another's impatience, lack of attention
to detail and/or incompetence/ineptitude.

What are you talking about i am not blaming a single soul for anything, i have been flashing roms and firmwares for years now. Somehow something went wrong and i am asking for help. I flashed the official firmware from sammobile for the sm t210r i booted into stock recovery and factory reset. And still i get the same results don't take pleading for direspect i am just frustrated not with anyone but with the tablet believe me it wasn't like this a month ago

hmm,
okay, different approach.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
just a refresher.
now,
screenshots of directories are next to useless.
what's needed is , at the very least a logcat.
to get that or anything else moving you need,
custom recovery installed.
root.
busybox.
adb setup properly on pc.
the ability to describe you problem in words other than my thing doesn't work.
the sense not to keep creating thread after thread concerning the same issue.
if you are that insistent on undoing what you have done, my previous suggestion to you is probably the best bet.
if you want "Professional" help then seek a repair service.
Savvy?

Gee thanks for the video very eye opening. Will post a logcat then i have all the things u mentioned recovery,adb etc all i require is clear steps to follow into fixing this lil issue and i will b a happy camper.

k,
okay, cool. sorry for being so rough on you.
i am downloading a copy of 4.4.2 firmware though linking me to the firmware
you initially flashed would be good.
what would be better is if you still have the firmware file crack it open with 7zip and get me a list
of the files [.img, .bin] inside.
run logcat after you boot up. attach to post as text file
then run your routine to where you get your issue, fc's etc and run logcat again and post as text [2]
m
okay it looks like i am not going to be downloading the 4.4.2 firmware.
downloads break from the one source i found
and i have no interest in joining the other site. that's bull****.
so if you can get me the list of files contained in the realease that would be helpful.
OK bro I narrowed it down to it not being a ROM or firmware issue here is my log, the firmware that I flashed was from sammobile its a tar file and 7zip can't open it. Currently i am on tranchikat 1.8 the " unfortunately app stops" still persist its not really force closes its stops hope you can deduce something off the log and again thanks very much bro it doesnt matter how long it takes.

i am going to guess you are trying to run a battery/governor tweaker ?
i am going to guess when you type getenforce in terminal
your output will be enforcing.
i am guessing when you resend your logcat you will do so after
typing su
and then
logcat -d > /sdcard/logcat.txt
if my guesses as to the app and selinux are correct you;
a- need to let the app go into the dustbin of history
b- need to look for a tutorial on dumping/unpacking/customizing/repacking/reflashing your boot.img
in order to disable selinux and make it stick.
if my guesses are wrong it is because;
the log you posted is super-lame [sorry] use your terminal, not a catlog app.
you have yet to tell me what app are giving you your headache. in which event is an issue between you
and the app's developer.
lastly you should be question the developer of the rom.
m
Bro its not any specific app I'll give you an example. Say I am going to settings doing whatever all of a sudden boom "unfortunately settings have stopped". Say I am on my browser browsing a way I go to my bookmarks boom " unfortunately internet has stop". It does it randomly not evrytime but at random "unfortunately touchwiz has stopped" etc the apps will close an I can start them again and they will run normally until another random stop. I have tried all costom Roms on here and still have the issue so I know its not a ROM problem, I have flashed my stock firmware both 4.1.2 and 4.4.2 and it persist so that rules out it being those either. But I will do what u said and use terminal to get the log. So far what I can tell its not the apps nor the ROM nor the kernel that is causing the stops and random reboots.

it's connected to , from what i've read so far , a maybe faulty root and multiuser.
what version supersu are you using ? unroot and then reroot trying from version 1.97 maybe to 1.99.
kill multiuser and clear out any suspect accounts in settings. will post back if i find something more conclusive.
you can jump in as well by searching the error i mentioned.

read that page looking specifically at the portion concerning /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
you may need to add/edit the line for
android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL
with the proper uid [user identification] meaning the right number/symbol for root,shell,ewok, etc.
the entry looks something like this;
<assign-permission name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL" uid="shell" />
and remember to reset the file's permissions correctly - 644
Nah it happens on both jellybean and KitKat for me I don't think its the root because when I flash the official samsung firmware through Odin it is basically unrooted and the problems persist
iI tell you when it first started. I was on jellybean then the kitkat update for the sm-t210r came out, I flashed it via Odin and from then it started
So naturally I downgraded back to jellybean but the issue it stayed, so that's basically the history of the random app stops and random reboots.

I messed up my phone cause I'm not very smart and do not know what to do. I have an ATT LG G4 H810g rooted with LER. I foolishly froze my systemui in TIT BACKUP when freezing LG apps and when my phone rebooted I was stuck in a loop with Unfortunately Stystemui has stopped and my phone wouldn't let me do anything.
SO I tried to a system restore (not sure if I should have done this on rooted image) my phone restored and got me to the setup screen but when I tried to finish the process, I get a crash that says Unfortunately LG Setup Wizard has stopped (assuming its a app I froze with TIT BACKUP). So my phone is not unusuable and not sure what to do.
I tried to reflash rooted 10g image with LER but the same thing happens after its done with the Setup wizard failing.
PLEASE HELP how can I fix my phone?
Thanks.

Something similar happened to me and my setup wizard would fail in an endless loop. Had to go to AT&T and get a replacement.
Also...
Adding to my stupidity, I don't have stock image on my phone, so even though I downloaded the stock 10g, my computer won't recognize my phone Im assuming since usb debugging cannot be selected.

No, they wont know since it won't boot anyway. They will see the setup wizard fail and won't be able to troubleshoot it any further and will give you a new one. At my repair center they said it's not a phone they stock and had to mail me one so be prepared for that.

yup...a couple times, even reflashed the rooted 10g image, still fails, i froze the setup wizard with tit backup (didnt realize i needed it) and now the phone endlessly loops the setup screen and wont let me into the phone, nothing works, cant enable usb debugging to add stock image to internal storage to flash, cant do anything, keeps looping.

Definitely just do a warranty claim. The exact same thing happened to me with the setup wizard... it sucks!
A possibility is to kdz an uprooted version of the 10g image so the titanium will no longer have root. If that doesn't work I think there is an option in the kdz method to erase data, which should erase all the apps.

no kdz for ATT, only TOT which is unavailable, my thought was to put a stock image on internal storage, but since phone is now restored, cant access usb debugging, so computer wont read phone.

A KDZ would be very very helpful... if there were any available for the AT&T variant. Currently there are none so this isn't an option.

Yes you can but you won't ever be able to come back to AT&T firmware and thus won't receive any AT&T OTAs (if you care about them). You will be stuck on the PR firmware and will have to wait until updated KDZs for PR are available to update to newer firmware. I chose not to go with this because of the OTAs.
Another option then is to find an unrooted system image of the AT&T g4 h10g and flash it like you would the rooted system image. Just make sure you change the name of the image file in the command to the name of the image. Then try a phone restore after that.

Can you not just put the file on sdcard and use that?
Dont have my g4 yet so im not sure.
Hello,
I'm new to this forum, and I could not find anything related to this issue. I'm successfully downloading the latest update and when I try to install it, the installation goes up to 25% and I get the red exclamation mark afterwards. The phone then restarts, and I'm back at the beginning, where I have to re-download the update all over again. I don't have any custom ROMs flashed on my device, it's just like I bought it, the latest update that I made was the update to Android v6.0.1. Current software number is v2.10.401.1, if that is of any importance. I've factory reset the phone, and tried applying the update on a fresh phone, but it still won't work.
Also, while I'm here, I might just ask... I'm getting frequent app crashes/unresponsive app, mostly on the apps that I'm using the most, Facebook and Instagram. Facebook is more stable, crash/unresponsiveness does not happen very often, but for Instagram it's always happening after scrolling 3-4 images. Also, the Sense Home app is always getting unresponsive after a phone restart, and I have to restart it several times until it gets back to normal, since it cannot recover from it, I'm not seeing the home screen at all.
I was very satisfied with my phone before the update to Android 6, but after upgrade, I'm frequently having these minor problems, another one of which is the SD card "unexpectedly removed" error, which is happening when I open up the gallery or the file manager. I'm running low on patience, I really hoped that this last update will fix things, but I'm very close to slamming the phone off the wall, that's how frustrated I am. Please help
Well I'm no expert here but I've also experienced the freezes in such apps and even normal restart didn't work, so I had to force restart it. This happened in marshmallow and lollipop both so i tried removing my sd card and freezes were gone. In my case it was the sd card, so you can try that.
And for the update check if your bootloader is locked, assuming you bought it refurbished or used, the previous owner might have done some tinkering.
Hope you find the solution soon :good:

If you are willing to, you can unlock the bootloader from http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ and flash a stock sense ROM or other custom ROMs and that might solve the app crash problem.

I've already tried removing the SD card, and I've seen slight improvement in the app crashes, but they were still occurring. My bootloader is locked, but I'm going to unlock it now and flash a new ROM, I can't play around with it anymore

Before you do that .. as there is almost no custom ROM available for M8s except CM which is in progress, I don't suggest to unlock bootloader.. try to find and install 2.10.401.1 RUU
Installing RUU will usually fix this kind of problem if the data partition is sort of corrupted but not damaged.

You are suggesting to install the same software version that I currently have? Where do I find it and how do I install it manually?

Yeah, same version then after OTA to 2.20.401.1

And for the RUU .. I have to check my PC for the full filename so it is easier to find link. I'll let you know tomorrow (on mobile now)

If thats what you want to do I'd suggest you try cm12.1 . Unfortunately its the only ROM available to us but its way better than stock in terms of performance imho. But do that if you're willing to sacrifice some things such as double tap to wake and also any 3rd party camera apps, because they crash alot and yeah no boomsound. :fingers-crossed:

I'll try with @ckpv5 suggestion, to install 2.10.401.1 RUU and then try OTA upgrade to 2.20.401.1. If it fails, or if it succeeds but apps are still crashing as they were before, I'll definitely switch to cm, whatever version is stable at the moment. Double tap to wake is really annoying and I don't need it, I don't use 3rd party camera apps, and I guess I'll have to live without boomsound Thanks for the tip, though.

I did a bit of digging, and what I found is this:
0PKVIMG_M8_QL_UL_M60_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.1_Radio_1.0.U20410.1 @ 60201_20.05_018_F_release_479349_combined_signed.zip
which I downloaded from https://ruu.lalleman.net/ -> Firmware (Expert) -> Firmware Crypted (Original HTC)
I'll wait for you to confirm that this is the one that I need, before I continue with the procedure (rename, put to SD, boot to bootloader, fastboot)
does someone have stock marshmallow twrp backup. I accidentally deleted mine and now stuck with cm only

Worked for me as well. I'm at v2.20 now, so far no app crashes, the "SD card unexpectedly removed" is still there, but I'll live. Thanks a lot @ckpv5 for your suggestion, I practically got a brand new phone now!

I don't have a backup of v2.20. I flashed the v2.10 from https://ruu.lalleman.net/ -> Firmware (Expert) -> Firmware Crypted (Original HTC) , and then I downloaded the OTA update on top of it.

no no not that. I mean TWRP backup. I dont want to go back to zero relock the phone and flash the zip and re-unlock the phone root again bla bla.
Since you did the same process, I thought maybe you took a backup of the rom after you updated it.
I made a mistake by not taking a backup of it so now it is a problem for me :/
Edit: damn! thanks anyway. I have a long night in front of me clearly. I hate this phone :/
V4A is not working anymore with the latest update. Is it me or everyone has the same problem.
